Dennis, You have dust on your sensor, at least 3 spots, probably got it changing lenses. Try one of those big Atomic/Rocket blowers. Use the menu and instruction manual to open the mirror and shutter. While it's open, try to blow the dust off. If you can't, visit a camera tech and get a $30

You have dust on the sensor. It's probably easily removable with a blower. Just goto sensor cleaning in the menu and use a bulb blower to gently blow the dust off the sensor. Or if you want to be slightly more aggressive, I use 3M dust remover, it's a canned product but is relatively

Charles, 'Bought' one myself a while ago and I like it. It is big, especially with a laptop along. I've got an orange one... I say 'bought' because the local camera outlet closed, leaving me with $100 in credits on developing. I went to the remaining store downtown looking for something to spend

For years, I've been using a Tamrac Velocity 3 shoulder bag. Just big enough for a camera with lens, 'nose down' in the middle section (ie, flip open the flap on the top of the bag, and you see the back/ screen of the camera), with a flash off to one side and a lens or two in the section

Unless you make a habit of whipping it out and shooting fast, why don't you just turn the hood around and use the lens cap? It only takes ten seconds to reverse the procedure. Joseph McAllister Lots of gear, not much time On Dec 12, 2008, at 14:12 , Charles Robinson wrote: I worry that if

that's rather a salacious way of putting it, Joseph. ];-) Charles, you might look at the Kata DC-441 or DC-443 bags. They're nicely made and should have enough room to hold the camera and lens the way you want. That DA*16-50 and especially the DA*50-135 are pretty bulky lenses...The DC-443
